'Dickstart' :: Kickstart 'World's Biggest Dick Drawing'
Jason St. Amand READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Kickstarter has helped fund a number of incredible projects, most notably reviving the classic kids' show "Reading Rainbow." But if you don't feel like giving your money over to a cause to help the children or fund a new film, you can donate some of your hard-earned cash to Alex Wong, who needs your help in drawing the world's biggest dick.
His project, #DICKSTARTER, hopes you and your friends will donate up to $100 to help draw the world's biggest penis.
Wong explains:
The pledges for this art project will directly dictate the outcome of the dick drawing. Every dollar will add an inch to the drawing. The inches will be accumulated and drawn on high quality paper, then the paper will be spread out to form the dick drawing. This forming of the dick drawing will most likely take place outside wherever a large surface area is available. The goal is set at 100 inches (which would probably be a record breaking dick drawing) but I will draw this thing as many inches as the pledges expect me to. Every pledge will have their name attributed to their inch and all pledges will be listed in a huge thank you letter. Let's see who is willing to make this drawing erect to massive proportions!
He also gives some background information about himself, saying he recently graduated college and is unemployed. He says he wants to "bring it back to the goals of my youth" and "with your help, I will be able to create a wonderful (and long) drawing of the male anatomy."
He continues:
This is both a personal project rooted in my childhood dreams, as well as a collaborate project to spread awareness and understanding of our bodies. We didn't grow up drawing dicks out of nowhere. It was fun, it was funny. It's still fun and it's still funny. Whether it is a terrible sketch on a bar napkin or a beautiful painting on a canvas; a dick drawing is a dick drawing. Seeing an abstract dick by Picasso in a museum is just as funny as drawing one for yourself in the condensation of a car window. Let's impress Guinness with the World's Biggest Dick Drawing. Project WBDD is officially on the rise!
Wong, from Seattle, writes once the drawing is finished, "the entire dick drawing project will be documented and hopefully DVDs can be made to thank everyone on video, and so you and your kids can someday watch the history you helped make!"
As of this writing, there are 14 backers and Wong is at the halfway mark of his $100 goal, raising $50. The Kickstarter will close in 27 days.
